Oooohhh, Steve Kirsch comes thru heavily with:
> --Squirrel Bait--self-titled--a blast of Husker Du-isms with vocals so
> throaty they make Mats-era Westerberg sound like Pavarotti... ungodly
> powerful
YES! Long live Louisville rock, baby.
> --Danny & Dusty--"The Lost Weekend" --I'm a big mid-80s Green On Red fan
> and this is my favorite GOR-related album...a drunken, sloppy, wonderful
> GOR/Steve Wynn/Long Ryders/Rain Parade collaboration on 7 GOR-ish
> originals plus a Dylan tune.
YES! Long live 80s roots rock sort-of-supergroups (ditto for
Gutterball)!
> --Eleventh Dream Day--"Beet" --I've inflicted my opinion of this on the
> list too many times :)...Velvets meets Crazy Horse meets X...Just buy it
> if you can find it. Gimme a witness, Dave.
YES!! One of my fave records of all time. "I'll testify.....<skronk
skronk skronk...guitar frenzy>...."
> --Mission of Burma-"Vs."--aggressive, guitar-heavy, chaotic, full of

> American post-punk.
>
> -- Volcano Suns--"The Bright Orange Years"--a more melodic, song-oriented
> version of Mission of Burma headed by Burma's drummer, Peter Prescott
>
> --Naked Raygun--"All Rise" --my favorite non-SST punk album from the 80s.
> Guaranteed to elevate testosterone levels and start spontaneous
> moshing...
YES! YES! YES! Mission of Burma changed my life. Along with
Naked Raygun, I'd throw in that first Pegboy record.
Phew, I need to take a shower.
